JUNE 24, 2001 - Muncie, IN.

Early this morning, a small press release given out by Mindwipe Entertainment Inc., confirmed the signing of 9 former-NPWA Superstars. The release was vague when it came to giving out names, but The Dirtsheet has been able to state that Johhny the Homicidal Maniac is indeed one of the mentioned "young talents". As for the rest, here's a portion of the press release itself, and you can start making your best guesses.

"EWA Enterprises is pleased to announce that as of 7:30 a.m., June 24th, we have signed 8 former-NPWA Superstars to contracts. For angle development reasons, however, the names of said Superstars will be withheld until a further date. What we can tell you, is that 2 former-NPWA Heavyweight Champions, a recent NPWA United States Champion, a former-EWA Intercontinental Champion and returning star, and four young talents with worlds of potential have all been added to the EWA roster. Along with these additions, the EWA is currently in contract negotiations with other former-NPWA talent."

Well, aside from Johhny the Homicidal Maniac, the rest is up to speculation. As for the possibility that the NYSWF has signed anyone, there has been no press release of right now, and Corey Collins has so far been unavailable for comment. We here at The Dirtsheet will keep you informed on the ongoing signings and releasings stemming from the closure of the NPWA.
